TVC 654.6: Five-time Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and cultural critic John Barbour (Real People) and Carol Hoenig, the collaborator on John’s memoir, Your Mother’s Not a Virgin talk to Ed about how John was the first critic to review movies on TV news, paving the way for Siskel and Ebert and many, many film critics on television; why John believes that movies are the writer’s medium, not the director’s; and why, when we learn something that impacts us emotionally, we will never forget what we learned. Carol’s latest book, The Greatest Reviews I’ve Ever Read, is a collection of some of John’s many film reviews for Los Angeles magazine and KNBC-TV Los Angeles from the 1970s that also includes an ongoing, My Dinner with Andre-like conversation between John and Carol about how movies continue to shape and influence our culture.
